T Rex Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hi Forum members, pleased to advise that KK #607 has found a great new home on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada! While the shipping process took a bit longer than expected (you have to appreciate how expectant parents are) all is well and Johnny is in the process of making "jammies" as we chat! I haven't figured out the Avatar picture posting stuff yet but hope to soon. Dennis was great to deal with and extremely patient as well.....

mguerra Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hey T Rex! If the KK has only one use on this planet, it's for pork butts! Just sent two over to a meeting tonight of the Financial Women of Texas. Tonight was my wife's turn to host. They went absolutely ape shit over the pulled pork. Got some more good tar up there in my top vent, too. I don't exactly remember how to get your avatar attached , but one thing I do remember is you have to limit the pixel count. Anybody out there can tell T how to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Rex Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hey Mguerra, I think the KK will Kick allot of Pork Butt up North... just a matter of time before my wife's friends at the stable discover it! T Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Rex Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hey LPT41, thanks for the kind words. Vancouver Island is a pretty big island.............. and I have not had the pleasure of meeting your friends. It would appear that there is another KK on Vancouver Island located in Nanaimo................. T Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemonkey Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I don't exactly remember how to get your avatar attached , but one thing I do remember is you have to limit the pixel count. Anybody out there can tell T how to do it? The avatar limitations are 128 pixels wide, and 128 pixels high. Uploaded avatars have a file size limit of 10 KB. If you have your avater picture on another site, like photobucket or imageshack, it will automagically shrink it to fit the display. If you are trying to post photos, you must first host them on a different server, then you can paste the URL (address) into your picture, using the buttons above the entry box to wrap the address up in tags. When you are done it will look something like this: [img=http://your.picture.url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Rex Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Thanks FM, I will "monkey" with it and hopefully have some cook pictures up later today........ T Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Rex Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hey Primeats, Chicago, burrrrrrrrrrr. Vancouver Island is the retirement capital of Canada where you can ski, deep sea fish and golf all in one day..... We did get some snow this year, I believe it was in December and it was gone the next day. I will check out the web site and get it right yet.

Loquitur Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Re: KK #607 has been adopted I haven't figured out the Avatar picture posting stuff yet but hope to soon....T Rex T Rex - what exactly did you do to get the Avatar??? Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Rex Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hi Loquitur, this is how I did it: 1. Locate a picture that you want to use and save it on your computer in your pictures. 2. Open up a free account with Photobucket (this is who I used however there are several others that are available as well) 3. Copy the picture from your computer to your Photobucket account. 4. Click on the Photobucket picture and click the IMG code. 5. Go back to the KK Profile site and go down to the bottom that deals with Avatar and insert the IMG code in the centre space. 6. Hit Submit A couple of notes, if the image you start with is too large it will not post or at least it wouldn't for me. Hope this helps.................... If a retired "Brain Dead Banker" can do it after two glasses of Shiraz, so can you! Good luck, T Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loquitur Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Thanks for the instructions, T Rex. They were perfectly clear but I couldn't get the avatar uploaded from photo bucket for love or money. I kept getting an error message that the image had to be a jpeg or tif or other kind of file, which I thought it was already. But I was able to resize the image in photo bucket and download it to my computer and upload it from there. I really appreciate the help.
